Choosing Internal Laptop Disk Drives

Installing an internal disk drive or burner into your Lenovo laptop doesn't have to be difficult when you know exactly what you are looking for. There are a few things to consider as you look for the right drive, regardless of whether you're interested in a burner or a DVD-ROM player.

What Are Some Available Readable Formats?

There are two types of DVD drives and CD drives; some are only readable while others are both readable and writable. Readable means that you can play the disk in the drive, while a writable disc drive allows you to record onto a disc, which is a process that's sometimes called "burning."

  • You can select a burner that can read multiple CD formats, such as CD-R, CD-RW, and CD-ROM. A CD-ROM is a disc that already has data on it, which means that you can't record over it. Any disc with an "RW" after it means it's rewritable and can be recorded onto, while a CD-R is a disc that you can record on once, but not again.
  • When it comes to readable DVD drive formats, some that you'll see include DVD-ROM, DVD-R, and DVD-RW.
  • You may end up purchasing a DVD burner that can also read Blu-rays, including specialized dual-layer BD-R discs, which means that this type of disc can hold twice the amount of a regular Blu-ray disc.

Which Writable Formats Can You Select?

Other than looking at which readable formats you're interested in, you'll want to know which writable discs you can use, especially when you want to use a DVD writer to create your own data discs.

  • Similar to readable formats, there are specific discs that you can record or write onto. Some optical drives can perform both functions, while other internal drives are only compatible with certain types of CDs or other types of form factors.
  • As far as writable formats when it comes to a CD-ROM drive are concerned, some of the options include CD-R and CD-RW, which are discs that you can record on once or discs you can record over more than one time.
  • Other writable formats include DVD+RW, DVD-RW, and DVD-ROM.

What Are Some Interfaces to Choose?

Before you purchase an optical drive, you have to ensure it's compatible with your Lenovo computer, which means that the interface has to match up, and there are a few common interfaces that you'll likely encounter.

  • SATA models may also be expressed as SATA I, SATA II, and SATA III internal DVD drives. To see which type your model has, just match up the series and model number of your laptop to the optical disc drive you're considering.
  • You may also run into interfaces like eSATA, PATA, or IDE.
